Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla thinks NBA should rename Coach of the Month award

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:47 GMT

Joe Mazzulla may not have cared too much about being named the coach of the month when he first started leading the Celtics. But as they rip through the NBA with the best record through two-plus months, he believes the recognition reaffirms what they’re doing on a daily basis.And Mazzulla would like to see the award named something else.“Does it mean something to me? In the past I probably would have said no,” Mazzulla said after the Celtics’ 126-97 win over the Jazz pushed them to 27-7 this season. “But I think it’s a testament to what we’re building and what we’re creating. So it’s a testament to the staff. I wish they would change it to staff of the month because I’m not doing it by myself.

That’s the entire staff.“Then if the players don’t let me coach them, I’m not really a good coach. So I think it’s a testament to the e...
